| Methane Sources |
Will the religious zeal to counter global warming have no
limit? Now the Obama administration wants to stop cows from emitting methane
gas via belching and flatulence … see:
Daily Caller Story.
The methane gas produced by bovines as they digest their plant foods is a
“green-house gas” and is 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in its
warming effect. Of course other plant eaters (elephants, buffaloes, rhinos,
termites, old men, etc.) also produce copious quantities of methane gas … but
somehow may escape this intrusion of big government.
The cited article doesn’t specifically say how the
government is going to get cows to stop emitting methane … but, living under
these bozos for over five years, I have a pretty good idea of what they have in
mind. No, it isn’t feeding them massive amounts of Gas-X … or hooking up their south ends to gas-capturing devices. I’m pretty sure that our heavy hand of
government will impose a levy on farm animals. Yes, PETA and the vegetarian lobby
in Washington will, if they have their way, go in the back door (so to speak)
to reduce the American consumption of meat and dairy products. This will make
it more expensive to so consume and therefore, as per Economics 101, curb this
disgusting habit … and at the same time save our planet … a win-win.
Yes, dear readers brace yourselves … its coming … a fart
tax?
